SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 465,609, dated December22, 1891.

Application tiled February 17, 1891. Serial No. 381,751, (No model.)

To all wiz/0m t may concern: Below the water-line, and within the trapBe it known that I, WILLIAM BUNTING, J r., and made integral therewithand with the a citizen of the United States, and aresident dip orpartition, is a circular horizontal lip of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State or flange 11. 55 5 of New York, have invented certainnew and 12 designates aferrule or elbow, ot brass or useful Improvementsin Vater- Closets, of other metal or siutable material, made quadwhichthe following is a specification. rantal in shape and of a sizeto niatch and fit My invention relates more particularly to into the outgoand extends down into the trap r earthenware closets wherein the trapand below the water-line thereof. The inner reoo 1o bowl are madeintegral or of a single piece, ceiving end of said ferrule orelbOW IefUSand has for its main object to provide a conupon or terminates in thevicinly f and struction by which sewer-gas may be el'tectuabove the lipor liange 11, WlllGh 1S lJfOYlded ally excluded from the apartment inwhich more particularly to avoid any obstruction to the closet islocated. the free flowing ot the contents of the trap 65 I5 My inventionconsists in the features of and bowl by the lower projecting end of theconstruction and combinations ot' devices elbow. The outer discharge'end ot said elhereinafter more fully described, and parbow is providedexteriorly with a circular rib ticularly point-ed out in the appendedclaims. 13 and interiorly with a circular shoulder 14.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a The elbow is connected to thecloset by a 7o 2o part of this specification, Figure 1 is acentralclamping-ring 15, having a flange 16, which vertical section of awater-closet embodying engages with the rib 13, the said clampingmyiinproveinents, with a soil-pipe and branch ring being secured to theflange 6 of the outgo or connection added, and Fig. 2 is arear elebymeans of bolts and nuts 17, the bolts passvation of the same,omittingthe soil-pipe and ing through coincident perforations in the 75 branchshown at Fig. 1. flange and the ring.

In both Views the saine part will be found In ordertopreventanyleakageofwaterfroin designated by the. same numeral of reference. the trapsuitable packing 1S is introduced berlhe bowl 1 ot the closet may be ofany detween the clampii'ig-ring and the flange ofthe sired style orconstruction, and may be prooutgo, which packing may extend up to the 8o3o vided withthe usual flushing-rim Zand waterbase of the rib on theelbow, aS SllOWU, all@ inlet 3. The trap portion a is made integral ifdesired,additional packing may be applied with the bowl, as is also theoutgo 5, which between the lip 11 and the downwardly-proterrninates in ahorizontal direction and in a jeeting end of the elbow. To theshouldered vertical circular flange G.v The dip or partiend of the elbowis fitted a pipe-section 19 in 85 tion 7 forms on one side one wall ofthe bowl a manner to provide interorly asinoothilush and on the otherone of the walls oi' the trap joint. The connection may be made secureand one of the ou'tgo. That wall or side S and air-tight by means ofsolder or otherwise. which forms one of the walls of the trap and Theopposite end of the pipe-section may be outgo is constructed on an arcof a circle and calked or screwed into the soil-pipe 20. The 9o to inlength extends for about a full quarter of pipe-section and the elbowmay, so far as the a circle, beginning at a point within the trap mainfeature of my invention is concerned, below the water-line 9 and endingat the be made ot one piece of material or integral, crown or extremityAof the ont-go above the and the pipe-section may be bent inany'diwater-line. The mouth or discharge end of rection to properlyconnect with the soil-pipe. 95 the outgo is constructed at its lowerside in- 'By my construction the joint between the teriorly below thewaterline, also on a curve pipe or elbow and the trap oroutgo is locatedor an arc of a circle, as at 10, so that the tubelow the water-level ofthe trap, so that any bular outgo from the trap as a whole is subtbacktlow of gas from the sewer connections l stantially quadrantal inshape, and so that will be prevented from escaping at said joint ioo 5oa section taken at any part of the outgo will by reason of theintermediate body ot' water present a substantially cylindrical figure.in the trap.

By my invention the clam-ping-ringis used merely to hold thepipe-sections to the closet, and is not relied upon to make a gas-proofjoint, the joint at the receiving end of the outlet or discharge pipebeing arranged or located within the water of the trap. Thepipe-sections, being of metal, may be soldered, calked, or screwedtogether, and their joints may be made durable and absolutely secure.

' I do not claim to be the first to make a gasproof joint between anearthenware trap and a metal discharge-pipe by means of a water seal,but only to carry out this idea in the manner and by the particularconstruction and arrangement of means set forth in the following claims,by which an improved and more desirable water-closet structure isproduced.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a watercloset bowl, trap, and outgo made from asingle piece of earthenware, the outgo 5 thereof being formed on aquarter-circle and terminating in a horizontal direction and in avertical circular Iiange 6, of a metallic elbow or outlet-pi pe, alsoformed on a quarter-circle and inserted in the outgo in a manner to haveits receiving end located below the water-line of the trap, and aclamping-ring engaging the outer end of the elbow or ou tlet-pipe andconnected to said Vertical circular ange, as set forth.

2. The combination, with a water-closet bowl, trap, and outgo made froma single piece of earthenware, the outgo 5 thereof being formed on aquarter-circle and terminating in a horizontal direction and in avertical circular flange 6, of au elbow or outlet-pipe, also fcrmed on aquarter-circle and inserted in the outgo in a manner to have itsreceiving end located below the water-line of the trap, said elbow oroutlet-pipe having at its outer end a circular rib 13, a clamping-platehaving a lia-nge 16 to engage said rib and connected to the Verticalcircular liange 6 of the outgo, and a packing-ring arranged between thevertical circular flange 6 and the clamping-ring, as set forth.

3. A water-closet bowl, trap, outgo, and dip orpartition, all made froma single piece of earthenware, the dip or partition 7 forming on oneside one wall of the bowl and on the other side one of the walls of thetrap and one of the outgo, and the said outgo being constructed of aquadrantal shape and terminating in a horizontal direction and with avertical circular lange, as Set forth.

4. The combination, with a watercloset bowl, trap, outgo, and dip orpartition, all made from. a single piece of earthenware, the dip orpartition forming on one side one wall of the bowl and on the other sideone of the walls of the trap and one of the outgo and the outgo being ofa quadrantal shape and having at its receiving end a horizontal lip-oriiange of earthenware and terminating in a horizontal direction and witha Vertical circular iange, of an elbow or outlet-pipe of quadrantalshape inserted within said outgo below the water-line of the trap and inproximity to said horizontal lip and having at its outer end a.

vertical circular rib 13 and a circular shoulder 14, a clamping-ringengaging said rib 13 and coupled to the vertical circular flange 6, apacking-ring between the clamping-ring and the circular flange 6, and apipe-section 19, connected at one end to the outer end of the elbow 12at the shoulder 14 and at the other end to a soil-pipe, as set forth.
